Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin, Inc.

If you’re going through a rough patch with your child with PDD-NOS, Autism, or Asperger Syndrome or if your child has just been diagnosed, it can help just to meet someone else who knows what you’re going through. And often, parents can be the best source of information and ideas for each other.

Join us at the next “Morning Coffee” Parent Support Group meeting, where you can meet other parents of children “on the spectrum.” Parents of children of all ages, adults included, are welcome. The next meeting is on Thursday, December 3rd, at 9:30a.m. Our office is located at 9733 W. St. Martins Road in Franklin. That’s on Highway 100 just south of Loomis.

Chances are, you’ve heard about gluten-free/casein-free diet to treat your child’s autism. You’ve probably wondered just what are gluten and casein, how do they potentially affect your child, and how do you eliminate them from what your child eats and still provide a balanced diet?

Stephanie Mauck, M.Ed will present how to implement the gluten/casein-free diet and why your child may be a responder (some reports have indicated that 80% of kids on the spectrum respond in a positive way).

Stephanie will share the background of the diet and provide a 90 day trial plan to see if it may help your child. Recipes, food lists as well as other resources will be shared.

Samples will also be served - there are many tasty GF/CF foods available to make or purchase.
